Padre Pio (23 September): This Priest Read Souls, Stopped Bombs, and Spoke With Angels

About this sermon

In an age when many—even within the Church—deny miracles and reinterpret the supernatural claims of the Gospel, God gave the world one of history’s greatest miracle workers: St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina. This sermon examines extraordinary events from Padre Pio’s life, including his battles with demons, conversations with his guardian angel, encounters with souls in Purgatory, ability to read hearts in Confession, bilocation, visible stigmata and miraculous healings. Padre Pio reportedly spent as many as 19 hours a day hearing Confessions. He called the Rosary his “weapon,” urged Catholics to remember the faithful departed at Mass, and reminded penitents that genuine Confession requires sorrow for sin and a firm purpose of amendment. During World War II, Allied pilots reported seeing a friar in the sky preventing them from bombing San Giovanni Rotondo. Gemma di Giorgi, a girl born without pupils, received her sight after meeting Padre Pio—yet examinations continued to show no natural means by which she could see. These wonders were not given merely to amaze us. They remind a skeptical world that angels, demons, Purgatory, sin, grace, the priesthood and the supernatural order are real. Padre Pio points us toward repentance, the Holy Mass, the Rosary and fidelity to the Catholic Church. St. Padre Pio, pray for us. 0:00 Miracles in an age of disbelief 0:24 Modern editions removing saints’ miracles 0:51 Denying Christ’s multiplication of the loaves 1:47 Modernism and the rejection of miracles 2:05 God sends the world Padre Pio 2:29 More than 100 boxes of documentation 2:55 Padre Pio’s connection to America 3:20 Seeing the supernatural from childhood 3:27 Padre Pio’s battles with demons 3:44 The twisted iron curtain rod 4:16 The devil disguised as his spiritual director 4:31 “Blessed be Jesus”—the deception is exposed 4:49 Apparitions of saints and Our Lady 5:03 Conversations with his guardian angel 5:19 Letters understood through angelic assistance 5:42 Sending your guardian angel to Padre Pio 6:23 Encounters with souls in Purgatory 6:54 More departed souls than living people at Mass 7:18 Remembering the dead at every Mass 7:51 Padre Pio could read hearts 8:00 The Freemasons’ false Confessions 8:24 Padre Pio reveals their real sins 9:13 Why he refused absolution 9:34 Sorrow and a firm purpose of amendment 10:06 Returning to make a sincere Confession 10:24 Hearing Confessions for up to 19 hours 10:32 Padre Pio’s devotion to Our Lady 11:37 The Rosary was his weapon 11:45 Praying as many as 60 Rosaries 12:10 Padre Pio’s gift of bilocation 12:28 Saving an Italian general from suicide 13:07 Padre Pio during World War II 13:15 The attempted bombing of San Giovanni Rotondo 13:31 Pilots see a friar in the sky 14:03 Padre Pio’s hidden sufferings 14:10 His extraordinary body temperature 14:50 Receiving the stigmata 15:05 The wounds disappear after death 15:40 Fifty years without infection 15:47 The perfume of the stigmata 15:54 “These wounds are not decorations” 16:08 Gemma di Giorgi—blind from birth 16:22 Receiving sight and First Communion 16:30 She could see without pupils 17:14 Padre Pio’s message for our time 17:34 Angels, saints and spiritual realities 18:12 Sin, priesthood and the Crucifixion 19:06 A miracle worker against modern unbelief 19:15 The terrible reality of sin 19:33 Padre Pio on the purpose of life #PadrePio #SaintPadrePio #CatholicMiracles #CatholicSaints #Stigmata #Rosary #Purgatory #CatholicFaith For more please visit https://www.veritascaritas.com/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ SUPPORT THE MISSION 🙏 Donate https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 📬 Free Catholic Newsletter https://sensusfidelium.com/newsletter/ 📰 Read on Substack https://sensusfidelium.substack.com/ ──────────────────── 📺 WATCH & READ 📺 Sensus Fidelium App https://sensusfidelium.tv/ 📚 Sensus Fidelium Press https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ 👕 Official Merchandise https://sensusfidelium.com/merchandise/ ──────────────────── 🤝 PARTNER WITH US 📣 Advertise on Sensus Fidelium https://sensusfidelium.com/advertise-with-sensus-fidelium/ 🎤 Invite Steve Cunningham to Speak https://sensusfidelium.com/speaking/ ⛪ Parish Formation & Consultation https://sensusfidelium.com/for-parishes/ ──────────────────── 🌎 CATHOLIC COMMUNITY ✝️ Trusted Catholic Businesses https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
